The Trump WH offer is DACA-plus. Amnesty for a *large* group of eligible DREAMers (including those who didn’t sign up for Obama’s temporary program!) in exchange for $25B for The Wall + other border security, and curbs on chain migration. Surprisingly generous. https://t.co/Gd2bDrCwPX

When it comes to an immigration deal, the issue is whether Democrats are willing to accept a deal for specific, well-defined groups already present in the U.S. in exchange for giving away structural reforms to the immigration system as a whole.

The flip-side is a deal like this forces immigration hawks on the right to accept that the DACA-eligibles aren't gonna be deported while giving them structural reforms to the immigration system as a whole. https://t.co/vM8I8X8Yo1

“Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.” .....Robert A. Heinlein quotes (American science-fiction Writer, 1907-1988)
